Yet another textbook example of why it's so easy for a speed horse to dominate a two-turn Derby prep race.
No one wanted to use there natural speed - although Nacho Saint and Stay Thirsty both charging the gate early and having slow starts contributed to that. Some horse who broke his maiden at 24/1 odds at Penn National two back got to control a soft pace from the outside and easily ran the race of his life. Put any real horse in that position - and they'd have dominated this race.

Stay Thirsty broke a bit slow - the Nacho horse actually broke open the gate right before the start.
A better start by Stay Thirsty actually would have helped Toby's Corner a little bit - had Stay Thirsty broke well and was positioned forward from the start - Castro wouldn't have been quite as focused on getting into a wrestling match with TC.

Castro probably would have done it anyway.  Last edited by Sightseek : 03-05-2011 at 05:37 PM.
